mountaindew,

#5 is located South of the city off CR 23. CR 23 intersects with SR 12 on the eastside of the city.

On Sunday I was fishing spots on the west and south shore in the shallowest part of the resevoir.

I was there quite a while, had to work at it. Packed up about 1:30.

Tried it again last night for a couple hours but the fish were less cooperative. 2 cats, 1 saugeye and 1 white bass

Thats a good assortment of fish. One of the great things about fishing nightcrawlers on the bottom is you never know what you will get, everything from carp to bluegills. One time i was up in Michigan and we were fishing out on a pier at night for walleye. There was 20 people or so all together and i got tired of throwing crankbaits so i put on a crawler and threw it out and was catching catfish and sheephead and then a 20" walleye! Imagine the reaction i got from everyone who was fishing for walleye and not catching any! :p
